1. Re: Can ActionScript 3 do this
Andrei1 Mar 22, 2009 2:39 PM (in response to Paulo Skylar)Yes, it can be done.

I need, however, to also produce a log of the activity. Specifically, I need a file to be created
If you do it in AIR you can create file. If this is a web based application - Flash will not allow creating files. In this case you may want to use SharedObject class capabilities to keep the record. -
2. Re: Can ActionScript 3 do this
Newsgroup_User Mar 22, 2009 5:19 PM (in response to Paulo Skylar)I have done a couple of similar applications and games using Flash with AS3.
In all cases web server has been in use. Flash have been exanging
informations using XML protocol and all data was stored to/retreived from
database. You can install in Windows IIS server and e.g. PHP and PostgreSQL
database. It works fine. Of course another technologies are also useful.

3. Re: Can ActionScript 3 do this
Paulo Skylar Mar 22, 2009 8:06 PM (in response to Andrei1)My intended setup was to be independent of the web or a server database.
Ok, if I understand the replies, the answer is yes as long as I incorporate some additional software capabilities in the setup, which provides me with some file APIs . This represents more learning on my part, but at least your comments suggest that there is a route to complete the work. Will AIR provide hints or does one have to look up the documentation? I guess I have to also examine the capabilities of the SharedObject class you mentioned as I do not yet understand how this would work.

Thanks to both responders.
